Just returned from trip (6 hours later time zone at home)

LO (little one) did great there but this is our 3rd night home and it is still not looking good! Our formerly one feed a night baby is a mess, wide awake and feeding every 90 min or so. And often waking when u put her down or 10 min later... Just a paci or re swaddle and rock from dad won't do. Advice?

After going to CA from NY I gave up trying to get lo back on NY time after a few days. I feel like making the time change for the trip is so traumatic that you just have to let lo adjust back slowly by herself. It took about three weeks to get back to our old schedule. She was nursing once a night before the trip and now it's a solid two times but I'm getting the sense that she's waking more out of habit. I say give her time and maybe try putting lo back to bed without feeding her if she wakes before a certain interval. (i.e 3hrs) you should also consider a "no-cry" method of sleep training if its really becoming a problem for you.
